Austro-Hungarian .800 Silver Two-Tier Rococo Sweetmeat Centerpiece
Austro-Hungarian .800 Silver Two-Tier Rococo Sweetmeat Centerpiece
An imposing Austro-Hungarian .800 silver two-tier sweetmeat stand in the Rococo taste, featuring engraved dishes and a sculptural base with putti musicians.
This impressive Austro-Hungarian silver centerpiece or sweetmeat stand dates to the late 19th century and is executed in the Rococo revival style. Crafted in .800 silver, the piece features two circular engraved tiers supported by an elaborate architectural stem rising from a richly sculpted tripartite base.
The base is adorned with finely modeled putti musicians, each engaged with a different instrument—cymbals, flute, and triangle—adding both narrative charm and sculptural depth. The scrolling supports and pierced handle terminate in an elegant heart-shaped grip at the top, emphasizing the ornamental character of the piece.
Both tiers display engraved decorative motifs consistent with Austro-Hungarian silverwork of the period, while the overall form balances functionality with strong visual presence. The underside bears the Diana head (Dianakopf) hallmark in a lobed cartouche, confirming .800 silver purity, along with the maker’s mark AB.
A substantial and decorative object, this centerpiece was intended for the display of sweets, fruits, or confections and would have served as a focal point on a formal dining or serving table.
